Background

Snowdrop is blind. However, her great sense of hearing makes up for this. At school, she was often bullied because of her disability. She views both winter and the night as underappreciated. She created snowflakes by molding snow into what she considered to be stars. She lived prior to Princess Luna's transformation into Nightmare Moon.

Personality

Snowdrop is very timid and sensitive possibly because of her lack of friends. Later, she begins to stand up for herself more which helps to win her the confidence of the Princesses. Despite this change, she still maintains a quiet demeanor.

Relationships

Snowdrop is usually depicted as being really great friends with Princess Luna due to their shared appreciation for the night at a time when the night was ignored or despised by most.[1] Numerous fanworks depict Luna grieving after Snowdrop's death.[2]

Some fan fics see time travel being used and Snowdrop forming a bond with Nyx, partially because of Nyx's common history with Luna.[3][4]
